How to open multiple instances

[Lukio]

I’m currently using Desktop Mate, and I really enjoy the program! However, I was wondering if there’s a way to open multiple instances of it simultaneously on the same PC.

I’ve tried a few basic methods, but I couldn’t get it to work. Has anyone managed to do this? If so, could you please share the steps or any tools that might help?

Only way I managed to do it, is to make it not require steam first.
Basically download the latest zip from Goldberg Steam Emulator website

Extract the ZIP and copy the steam_api64.dll file specifically, and replace the one in this directory:
\Steam\steamapps\common\Desktop Mate\DesktopMate_Data\Plugins\x86_64\steam_api64.dll

Then if you want to make a second instance, make a 2nd copy of the entire "\Steam\steamapps\common\Desktop Mate" folder, and run the program from there.

Seems you need to make a copy for every instance

I got it to work but is there a way to hide the console every time a new instance opens up?

"Right-click the Shortcut and click on Properties. Now add --melonloader.hideconsole at the end of the shortcut Target"

That worked for me, it also remove the console when you launch it through steam if you add --melonloader.hideconsole to launch option.

Also, I just tested it and it seems you can just copy the data folder https://files.catbox.moe/fpkofo.png
